DIRECT from London’s West End – tantalising yet tasteful, camp and colourful – the fascinating art form of burlesque is coming to the Lyric Theatre, Carmarthen this Friday, November 18.

An Evening of Burlesque is a new theatre production that recreates the tradition of burlesque, giving it a modern-day twist. Burlesque is back in fashion – the film Burlesque, starring Christina Aguilera and Cher, was a box office smash earlier this year.

An Evening of Burlesque is the only theatre show bringing this intriguing art form, with its long, thrilling tradition, to UK theatres with a national tour.

An Evening of Burlesque is compered by the delectable Kiki Kaboom and includes the cream of British burlesque talent, including Miss Hotcake Kitty, Amber Topaz, Chrys Columbine, Miss Slinky Sparkles, Ginger Blush and The Kalki Hula Girl.

With magic, music and song (even featuring a frenzied live rendition of the cadenza of Beethoven’s 3rd Piano Concerto in C Minor) and dance (including traditional fan dances) this is a production that promises to be the talk of the town for months to come. It is for over-18s only.
